Lizano

The full LIZANO lineup, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Jay Hatchett, guitarist Sal Greco, bassist Evan Stokes and drummer Amearist Phillips was formed in the Reno/Tahoe, NV area during summer of 2015. The origins of LIZANO however trace back to spring of 2013 when Jay traveled north from Costa Rica and met fellow bandmate now lifelong friend, Sal at the Naked Tiger Hostel in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Today the band focuses its time on writing and performing original music they like to call Galactic Reggae & Funk Fusion This original sound transformed from its original roots of covering bands like Pepper, Sublime and The Expendables while touring Central America, until they blended with funk, jazz and rock influences here stateside. When the band is not in the studio rehearsing/recording or on the road spreading ‘LIZANO’s message of love’ they can be found instructing local rippers and players in-the-making at a non-profit music organization called ‘We Rock’. The struggles of spreading music on the road are real, but being able to reach people in the most meaningful way they know how to, LIZANO is dedicated to bringing its high energy act and positive message everywhere they can. "We are LIZANO, good on everything..." 'Galactic Reggae & Funk Fusion' Lizano is built on Reggae, ska, funk, and Love! "...Good on Everything".
